aix 5.3 upgrade problem

[cpu533]

Hi,
I am trying to upgrade current aix 5300-05 to aix 5300-08.I have the aix 5300-08 with sp1 CD on hand. i run the command smitty update_all. After upgrade, system complains some missing filesets. I do not know why, everything should includes in the CD set. I decide to leave it asis. But when I try to use CD-ROM or tape drive, the system will crash and reboot. Anybody has idea? The os still at 5300-05 level.

Thanks,
Denny

Try running this:

oslevel -rl 5300-08

which should show you the missing filesets.

and this => lppchk -v

Have a look at this useful link:

TSch Comment:

I'd use

"smitty update_all"

just to be sure you get all the parameters right.

Next you should run

instfix -ick <ML_Keyword> | grep ':-:'

to determine exactly what is missing.

In your case the commands would be

instfix -ick 5200-05_AIX_ML | grep ':-:'
instfix -ick 5200-06_AIX_ML | grep ':-:'
instfix -ick 5200-07_AIX_ML | grep ':-:'
instfix -ick 5200-08_AIX_ML | grep ':-:'
